TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Creative Couple Help Out New Parents In Hilarious Way
If you have kids you’ve absolutely gone through that new parent phase where all the expenses start adding up and it can feel overwhelming. Especially the diapers! Who knew you’d spend so much on a product that gets thrown away more times that you can count in a day.
This one couple in Los Angeles understood that new parent pain and decided to do something good for them. They recently went around to different Target stores in the area and hid cash in packs of diapers so when a new parent bought some they’d get a little surprise. They hid about $1,000 in cash total saying they just wanted to spread some joy and kindness. So nice of them!

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why is a computer mouse called a mouse?
You’re probably using one right now. The reason it’s called a mouse is pretty obvious. It’s small and quick and the cord that connects to the computer is similar to the mouse’s tail. But did you know that it wasn’t always named after this famous rodent?
Early versions of what we all know as the computer “mouse” now actually referred to it as a turtle. Which also makes a lot of sense! Turtle’s have a hard shell on top and moving parts underneath. Back in those days computer experts weren’t sure that we as consumers would embrace “the turtle” so they went with mouse instead. Which seems to have worked.
